    Bucky Christmas Eve at K9 Keep Fit.
    EJ C.

    Our dog has a great time here. We started bringing him as soon as he was old enough for puppy socials and have boarded him several weeks over the first year of his life. He is eager to go and happy when we pick him up. They send videos throughout his stay of our dog playing with his friends. The attached photo is from when he was there Christmas Eve (nice surprise!).

    We love everything about K9 Keep Fit! We are new dog owners who adopted a rescue late summer and needed to board him within a month for 3 nights. I was worried about having to leave him so soon and likely came across as a neurotic dog owner. Renee and team made sure Malai could visit 2x before his boarding and always provided helpful updates and answered my questions. The socialization aspect has been a game changer and why we keep coming. We were told that in temperament testing Malai came on a little strong (he's a young shepherd mix!) and they worked with him on proper intros and disengaging if other dogs weren't interested. Those skills saved my dog from getting bitten by an aggressive neighbor dog - Malai approached but disengaged when the dog showed aggression, another dog did not and got bit right in front of us. I appreciate getting videos when Malai is boarding, and I love how excited he gets when he sees the parking lot. He also greets the trainers like he greets family and while he is happy to see us - he is sad to leave at pick-up. If you need occasional boarding, socialization or regular day care for your active pup - this is the place! Note that boarding and day care fill fast during the holidays. Book ahead!

    This is my favorite small business that I've interacted with across all sectors! They are so attentive to the needs of the dogs and the owners. They offer non-judgmental training advice. And it's the ONLY place I feel happy leaving my dog (I always miss him, but I know he will be safe and have fun). I am so grateful for this business.

    Completely bushed after a day at K9 Keep Fit

    Been waiting a while to write this update; it's long overdue. When picking up Toby one evening, the owner, Renee, said, "Have you noticed anything funny about Toby's right eye? The sun caught it just right today, and it seems different, as if it's cloudy." We hadn't noticed, and indeed it was hard to see, as when we took him to our vet, she had a difficult time picking it up, but did say that yes, there was something there, and she'd refer us to a specialist with much better diagnostic equipment. This all began about 6 months of cataract surgery on both eyes (by the way, if you've been thinking about getting Trupanion insurance, sign up right now -- they were absolutely awesome), and now our boy can see again. The thing is, if you catch this in time, the outcome can be great; if you miss it, then you could be looking at a very poor outcome, with glaucoma and blindness. So, how exactly do you rate a place that kept your pup from going blind? Stars seem pretty trite for that kind of thing, don't you think? After a long recovery, Toby's once again back playing with his BFFs, Balto and Auggy. This is a great place, run by great people.

    Our happy girl at doggy daycare.

    Our dog Avery loves going to K9 Keep Fit for doggy care. She somehow knows when it's time leave on her daycare days and waits by the door. The entire team at K9 is really kind and the owner, Renee, really cares about her business. I can't imagine how difficult it's been with Covid related challenges and I appreciate that she often finds time to personally say hi - let us know how our bundle of energy did that day - who her doggy friends are - and she send photos and videos. I saw a post about delayed communications- we haven't had any issues. I've received vaccine records reminders and they have always been able to accommodate us on date change requests. We tried out two doggy daycares in the beginning and it was obvious to us Avery preferred K-9 Keep Fit. The dogs are matched up based on energy not solely based on size. Our playful and rambunctious Shiba was bored with only small dogs at the other daycare. Working from home with a younger active dog can be ll complicated. She wants to play and while we want to play we have to work. This is the best of both worlds - she gets to play, we get to work and have peace of mind that she's in a good place. Her happy face says it all!!

    No one could explain what happened to his leg so we never came back.

    See all

The first year with my golden retriever, Luka, was extremely hard. He was a mouthy dog who had zero boundaries at home or outside. He would get excited or frustrated and grab/bite onto my shoes or clothes daily. Walking him became an impossible task because he was extremely dog-reactive, and he dragged me a couple of times while trying to chase another dog. Walking him also became a two-person job, with someone always on the lookout for other dogs so we could turn the other way. He also began to resource guard and snapped at my dad twice.. I had already spent thousands on another trainer and didn't have much success. I began to feel like this was just what life with Luka would be like forever. It got to the point where I felt scared of him, and the life I was giving him out of that fear wasn't fair to him. So I decided to try and get help one last time. I found Lori's page and after reading the reviews I became hopeful again. I took Luka in for an evaluation, and Lori recommended their board-and-train program. I can't thank Chelsea and Lori enough for everything they've done. I've learned so much about Luka, how to manage different situations, and how to better understand his behavior. We had training lessons throughout his board-and-train stay and afterward, because we are the ones who need most of the training! Chelsea did an amazing job with Luka. At home, Luka is unrecognizable in the best way. We can actually go on adventures outside without being terrified that we won't be able to handle him. Those who knew Luka before his stay and see him now always comment on how well he is doing. I cannot recommend Lori Hamilton's Dog training enough to anyone who feels like they've tried everything and is feeling discouraged. I am so thankful because it finally feels like Luka and I can start living life and enjoying everything around us.

In October 2025, I paid a $855 deposit via Zelle to reserve boarding and requested a refund after canceling. After multiple follow-ups, I was told the refund would be processed. I was later informed that the refund had been sent to the wrong person and would be corrected, with a commitment that it would be completed by February 18, 2026.

Our boy had been found wondering the streets of SJ. With my wife and I, he was the Biggest love bug. So cute, and funny, and cuddly. But we can only imagine the terrible experiences he had endured. He had a scar atop his head and was very nervous around new people, which led to behavior like growling and snapping at times. His fear was only made worse by social distancing and not being around new people. Once Covid settled a bit we sought out a trainer for him. I'll never forget the first day Dawna came to the house. Our pup growled and was very displeased that this stranger was in his space, and worse, trying to interact with him. Dawna was not a bit deterred, which I was impressed by but I remained skeptical. Fast forward something like 2 weeks: Dawna interacted with him with ease on training days and he loved receiving love and pets from her. We couldn't believe it. Dawna taught us how to train him and he was able to meet all kinds of new people and doggy friends on our outings. We are forever grateful. We only had 2 years with him. Cancer.
